New editorial work for The Guardian Books online, a lovely article I enjoyed reading: “Reading past feminists, I understand how writing things down can be a political act”, written by the author of “White Feminism” , Koa Beck.Digging through archives, author Koa Beck found records of racist and exclusionary tactics used against people of colour that had eerie echoes with today, reinforcing the fact that White feminism has always been exclusionary.“Tracing the many people, across gender, race, class and sexuality who have been harmed by white feminism and its “empowerment” means archival research – seeking those outside the dominant story white feminists tell”. The piece speaks on the importance of written records and archiving, and cites luminaries such as Frances Beal, Sylvia Rivera, Barbara Smith, Angela Davis, Julia Serano, Barbara Smith and Cherríe Moraga, Clara González and Cheryl Clarke for paving the way.Special thanks to Sian Cain.Represented by @studiopi_ukBy Ngadi Smart: Instagram -- source link
